No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.

-- Each meridian ( 'line' ) of longitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific longitude. -- Each parallel ( 'line' ) of latitude represents all of the infinite number of points on the Earth's surface that have that one specific latitude.
Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth horizontally, and are parallel to the Equator. Lines of Latitude are intercepted by Lines of Longitude. Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is zero longitude and passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
Every line of constant latitude intersects every possible longitude, and vice-versa.
Longitude lines appear "vertical" and latitude lines appear "horizontal." Every single line of longitude passes through the equator. If you meant to say latitude, then the answer is no. Not a single one (they run parallel).
Lines of latitude. Longitude is from Pole to Pole.

-- All meridians of longitude have the same length ... they all join the north and south poles. -- Each parallel of north latitude has the same length as the parallel at the equal south latitude, but no other one.
Latitude and longtitide are used to indicated the fixed location of a point or sphere in relation to two of that sphere's opposite poles and one line joining them. Here on Earth the two poles are the North Pole and the South Pole, and the line joining them is the one which runs through London, England. Latitide and longitude do not apply to a planet, as it orbits the Sun and is always moving.

Latitude lines run parallel to the Equator while longitudinal lines (also called meridians) run north-south. The latitude angle ranges from 0 degrees at the Equator to 90 degrees at either the north or south pole.
The equator is the zero reference line for latitude, and the Prime Meridian is the one for longitude.
The longest parallel of latitude is the one defined as 'zero degrees', known as the "Equator". All meridians of longitude have the same length ... 1/2 of the earth's polar circumference.
There is no particular name for that event. It was decided long ago that since every parallel of latitude crosses each of the infinite number of meridians, and that every meridian of longitude crosses each of the infinite number of latitudes, it would be cruel to expect students, even gifted ones, to learn all of those names.
